Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 148 Seizing the Lifeline
A few days later, it was a dark and windy night.

Somewhere on the bank of the Han River, there were shadowy figures and the headlights of several cars illuminated the area brightly.

The faint light on the surface of the river reflects the outline of the shore.

The wind blew in from the river, bringing with it some moisture and the coolness of the night, gently brushing the cheek of the man who was tied up and thrown on the ground.

An Shangjiu respectfully opened the door of the newly parked car. Li You got out of the new car and stopped his leather shoes more than a meter away from the man.

The flashlight shone on the man's face. Li You looked at him for a few seconds. The man's hands and feet were tightly bound, and the cold stones by the river were poking at his body.

As soon as the meeting was over that day, An Sangjiu came to report to Li You about the real estate project that Chen Xingjun and President Xian were jointly developing.

The man in front of him is the key figure. This man named Kim Eui-jung is the person President Ham trusts the most.

It was also his idea to disrupt President Xian's plan to sell the project to Kinmen Real Estate and instead turn to Shunyang.

"Pick him up."

Li You opened his hand and An Shangjiu handed him the cigarette. After Li You took it, he used his hand to block the wind and lit the cigarette.

Li You took a puff of cigarette and looked at Jin Yizhong who was helped to sit on a big rock.

Kim Eui-jung, disheveled, sat on a rock by the river, tears still lingering on his face, his body trembling slightly as the river breeze blew.

"Director Jin?" Li You said playfully, "I have no other intention in inviting you here. I just want to ask you, what is your relationship with Shunyang?"

"Chairman Li Li-nim," Jin Yizhong shivered.

"Straighten out your tongue," Jeon Jae-joon, who was standing next to him, suddenly showed his vicious nature and slapped Kim Eui-jung in the face.

“Jaejoon, be polite.”

Li You exhaled a puff of smoke, "We still need Director Jin to cooperate."

"Yes, President Nim."

"Director Jin, you can speak slowly. I'll give you this opportunity," Li You said slowly, "but it's best to tell the truth."

Jin Yizhong spoke tremblingly, and after being slapped, he spoke more clearly, "I was wrong."

"I took Shunyang's money."

"Did you receive the money?" A smile appeared in Li You's eyes.

After purchasing land in South Korea, you have permanent ownership and will have a title deed and property insurance policy.

However, even if individual buyers purchase some land, they cannot develop it themselves.

The principle of land investment is to use a good eye to select a piece of land that will be developed in the future and to acquire ownership of the land before the land price rises.

When a developer wants to develop this land, the land price will rise sharply and the developer will also buy the land from individuals.

Because a large amount of opaque funds are involved in land transactions, the relevant departments have very strict control over this area.

Individual land transactions are still relatively safe, but if it is a transfer or cooperation between companies, it will be checked to see if any internal personnel have violated the regulations.

"It's like collecting money from the other side," Li You sat on the front of the car, "Director Jin, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"I know," Jin Yizhong nodded with a deathly pale face.

"Who gave you the money?" Li You looked at the still trembling man, "Chen Xingjun?"

"No." Jin Yizhong was stunned for a moment, and rubbed his lips up and down while hesitating, "It was Vice President Chen Rongji who found me. He not only gave me the money but also gave a share to the president."

It turned out that Chen Rongji couldn't sit still anymore.

Li You narrowed his eyes. Now it was no longer just Chen Xingjun and Chen Daojun who were competing.

Once Chen Xingjun fails, in order to prevent Shunyang from being taken over by the loser Chen Xingjun in the future, Chen Yangzhe may hand Shunyang directly to Chen Daojun before his death.

Anyway, I’m old enough and capable enough.

It is normal for Chen Rongji, who has been the "crown prince" for decades, to feel uneasy.

Thinking of Chen Xingjun's character, Li You suddenly had a crooked idea, "Does Chen Xingjun know?"

Jin Yizhong reacted for a moment, "Should. Shouldn't know?"

Seeing Li Youyi waving his hand and the Jiangnan security personnel coming forward on both sides, he shook his head in panic, "I really don't know! If Chen Rongji tells him, he will know!"

"I don't know whether Chen Rongji said that or not!"

Li You shook his head. “If I hadn’t told him, Chen Xingjun would probably have thought that it was President Xian who took the initiative to approach his family.”

He stopped talking and Quan Jae-jun directed his cleaners to take out two large sacks and heavy blocks of iron from their car.

Jin Yizhong was so frightened that his lips trembled wildly and he couldn't pronounce the words clearly, "President nim, President nim, President!"

Li You was blowing smoke rings as he sat on the hood of a car, watching indifferently as the sack was put over his head.

"President! I am valuable and useful!"

Director Jin, who had met Li You once at Chen Xingjun's wedding banquet, knelt at his feet tremblingly and begged in a low voice after the sack was opened.

The sound of the river's waves washed over his pleadings, making them unclear.

"Speak louder!" Quan Jae-joon kicked him.

"I have evidence that our president illegally annexed the land! I also have evidence that Chen Rongji gave the president money!" The ropes on his body were also untied, and he rubbed his hands together, "I can go to jail by myself!"

He had no idea of ​​revenge after he got out.

What a joke! His whole family was fed to the fish before he could get his revenge.

"Look, Director Jin." Li You finally threw away his cigarette butt and said calmly, "Aren't we reaching a consensus now?"

"Please tell me what you want me to do, President Nim." Jin Yizhong burst into tears, "I won't dare to do this again..."

"Jaejun, follow our Director Kim back to get the evidence," Li You patted Jeon Jaejun beside him, "and say hello by the way."

Say hello? To whom?

Jin Yizhong tried to crawl over in two steps, but stopped in front.

"I will definitely cooperate with whatever the president wants to do." "Okay, Director Jin."

Li You turned around and stood in front of the car door. "You are safe now. I believe that we will be more amicable when we meet next time."

Jin Yizhong nodded repeatedly, "Harmonious... harmonious"

On the way back, Li You called Chen Daojun, "Deputy Chen! Do you want to hear the good news?"

Chen Daojun glanced at the clock on the wall and said helplessly, "Director Li, don't keep me in suspense so late at night. You know I'm very anxious."

"I found evidence of Chen Rongji's illegal activities, as well as some evidence of President Ham's illegal behavior," Li You yawned, "but I have a special idea. Does Representative Chen want to hear it?"

"Special idea?"

"How is the relationship between Chen Xingjun and Vice President Chen Rongji recently?" Li You asked with a smile.

"Relationship." Chen Daojun thought for a moment, "Anyway, when I was in Zhengxinzhai in the compound, they were all friendly."

"Isn't it strange that Chen Xingjun and his father are so friendly?"

Li You guided Chen Daojun, "Chen Xingjun is most proud of his identity as Shunyang, right?"

"That's true," Chen Daojun said, and he actually felt a little pity for the woman.

"The Xian Shihua whom I should call sister-in-law, is subjected to the cold violence by him all day long, just because this woman took the initiative to get close to Shunyang."

"What if he knew at this time that it was his father who took the initiative to ask for help?" Li You couldn't wait to watch the show, "and was discovered by your mortal enemy."

Chen Daojun also understood and smiled, "Then he has really lost all face. He may not even be able to raise his head in front of Xian Shihua."

"Go and test Chen Xingjun first to see if he knows," Li You said as he saw they were almost home, speeding up his speech. "If he doesn't know, then do this."

"I'll have someone give you the evidence against Chen Rongji and President Xian."

He planned to keep Jin Yizhong's evidence as it would be useful.

He changed into slippers at the door and hung his clothes on the hanger. He walked into the bedroom but didn't see Mou Xianmin. He looked around the house and heard some noise outside the gym.

He pushed open the door. The lights in the gym were soft, the music was gentle, and the atmosphere was peaceful and soothing.

In the cushioned area, Mou Xianmin, wearing tight sportswear, was concentrating on doing Pilates exercises.

Her body rose and fell gently with the rhythm of her breathing, like ripples on the water, showing off her slim figure.

The tight sportswear highlighted her well-defined muscles, and sweat slid down Mou Xianmin's smooth forehead and cheeks.

The figures under the lights are elongated and projected onto the walls of the gym, a perfect combination of movement and stillness.

Li You's applause ruined the atmosphere. Mou Xianmin glared at him unhappily, "I ignored you when I knew you came in, and you interrupted me on purpose."

She looked at Li You and said, "It seems that you have finished your work?"

Li You sat cross-legged next to her, "It's done. I guess Chen Xingjun will have a big fuss in Shunyang in the next two days."

He knew Chen Xingjun's character too well. It was almost exactly the same as in the original drama. If he knew about this kind of thing, it would be strange if he could get along with his father.

Mou Xianmin stretched her legs and said, "I guess it must be you who gave Chen Daojun another bad idea."

"How can this be called a bad idea?" Li You smiled and held her legs. "It's a good idea if it can make Chen Xingjun suffer more."

"That's not how you stretch your legs," Mou Xianmin looked over expressionlessly.

"Then how should I press it?"

"."

Let’s not talk about how to stretch the legs for now. Time passed quickly and Chen Daojun called him the next night.

"I reminded him very 'euphemistically' in the evening," Chen Daojun couldn't help laughing, "My brother's face changed immediately, and he probably rushed to his father's office."

"Have you received the evidence?"

"Got it. Chen Xingjun really doesn't understand Vice President Chen Rongji," Chen Daojun flipped through the documents in front of him, "Chen Rongji privately spent at least 5 billion to get President Xian to give in."

"That project is not small," Li You said lazily, leaning back in the chair in the study. "If the building is completed and all developed into commercial housing, it can be sold for at least tens of billions."

"Compared to the projects that Chairman Li has in his hands, isn't this just a small project?" Chen Daojun smiled, "Our cooperation is over this time."

"It's still the same as before, a pleasant cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

Li You hung up the phone and thought about Kinmen Real Estate’s current industries. He felt a little headache.

Mou Xianmin gently pressed his temple from behind, "Why?"

“There are too many industries.”

This made Mou Xianmin burst out laughing, and the warm atmosphere created was gone. Li You turned around and hugged her to his lap, "Tell me the truth."

He said, "There are eleven projects that are being developed into ordinary commercial housing estates, almost all over Seoul. Currently, only two projects are under construction."

"There's also construction work for the city hall, which isn't very lucrative, but is very useful for building connections."

“There are also some small block planning developments.”

Li You sighed, "There is too much gold to dig, and I can't dig it all."

Mou Xianmin poked his cheek happily, "Our President Li has this kind of trouble as a big boss, right?"

"This is not the end," Li You kissed her, "I have excluded the good locations in the three districts of Jiangnan. Some places are very suitable for building hotels and shopping malls, but Kinmen does not have this business for the time being."

"There are also some plots of land suitable for building villas, but the capital required to build a villa district is too high, so we can only leave them vacant for the time being."

"Then wait until those commercial housing estates are completed and your Kinmen Real Estate will get its money back. Don't be impatient." Mou Xianmin took a breath. "You are just too impatient now, so you are under pressure."

"I'm anxious."

Li You was stunned for two seconds, then smiled and shook his head, "Do you remember what I said? If you want to be king, you have to be anxious."
